Chapter 370: Double Pupil and Lotus Time Realm
Chapter 370: Double Pupil and Lotus Time Realm
Song Chi's gaze swept over the two Bright Radiance Hatchlings, and although he didn't make a decision right away, he wasn't overly conflicted.
Protected by the Fifth Rank Double Bright Phoenix, both hatchlings had yet to comprehend the secret realm's rules, so there was no need to worry about their potential being affected.
Therefore, whichever one he chose, the difference wouldn't be significant.
Up ahead, the two Bright Radiance Hatchlings seemed to understand that this choice would determine their fate, so they remained quiet, not causing a fuss.
However, one of them was clearly trying to avoid Song Chi's gaze, seemingly unwilling to leave the protection of its mother and follow a completely unfamiliar human.
In contrast, the one on the left was the complete opposite. Not only did it not avoid his gaze, but its eyes shone with curiosity, and its double pupils continuously surveyed the Cob Alt Number above. It was filled with interest in the vast heavens and earth.
"This one!" Song Chi whispered to himself.
He recalled the Cob Alt Number, and his body descended steadily, enveloped by shadow energy.
The Fifth Rank Double Bright Phoenix noticed that Song Chi had landed in front of the left Bright Radiance Hatchling.
Powerful Fifth Rank life energy surged within the nest, and a cry echoed through the air.
"Human, the contract has begun. Do not resist; this blood pact can only be signed if both parties are willing!"
Song Chi nodded, and suddenly, he felt an inexplicable pressure envelop his entire body.
Under the influence of this mysterious energy, he and the Bright Radiance Hatchling floated in the air. As they were pulled to the same height, Song Chi felt a sharp pain in his forehead, and a drop of blood oozed from his brow.
On the hatchling's side, the same thing happened. A drop of blood emerged from its forehead and, under the gravitational pull, the two drops of blood drew closer and eventually merged.
After an unknown amount of time, when the thoroughly mixed blood separated into two drops again, these two drops, now containing both Song Chi's and the Bright Radiance Hatchling's blood, began to drift back towards their respective foreheads, finally reabsorbing into the depths of their brows.
Before Song Chi could think further, the voice of the Fifth Rank Double Bright Phoenix sounded in his ear once more.
"Quick, now is the time for you to choose each other's talents. This time is short, so make your choice quickly."
Song Chi didn't need the reminder from the Fifth Rank Double Bright Phoenix; the multiple talent runes from the Bright Radiance Hatchling had already faintly appeared in his mind.
Double Pupil
Bright Radiance Feather
Double Pupil Soul Chant
...
Without hesitation, he chose the Double Pupil rune.
The moment he made his choice, a shadow of a double pupil abruptly appeared in his previously ordinary eyes, and Song Chi immediately felt the astonishing effect of these newly manifested double pupils.
Scanning his surroundings, he noticed that the nest space, which had not shown any abnormalities before, now revealed traces of energy fluctuations. The space was slightly distorted, and the ground continuously exuded dense, pure energy.
Moreover, there were also a few faint traces of the original primordial rules around the space.
Without these double pupils, Song Chi would have had no perception of any of this, as human eyes alone couldn't detect such subtle changes.
As Song Chi adjusted to his newly revealed double pupils, the other Bright Radiance Hatchling across from him became flustered.
The reason was simple: the number of talent runes that appeared in its mind at this moment was astonishing.
Neutron Star Fission
Five Elements Heavenly Energy Shield
Calming Seal - Inner - Time Acceleration
Calming Seal - External - Time Stop
Lotus Time Realm
False Binding Chain
Mirage
Mirage Dragon Spirit Pressure
Final Blessing
...
Since the Cob Alt Number was originally bound to Song Chi's Flame Torch Seed, and all its components were bound to the ship, these component abilities and characteristics were all considered part of Song Chi's talents.
As a result, the Bright Radiance Hatchling was overwhelmed, and it couldn't make a choice in such a short time.
Song Chi quickly offered a suggestion: "The Lotus Time Realm, Calming Seal - Inner - Time Acceleration, Calming Seal - External - Time Stop, and Final Blessing are all excellent abilities. You can choose any one of these four."
Song Chi's suggestion was not made lightly; the four abilities he mentioned were all top-tier talents of the Cob Alt Number.
The Lotus Time Realm, a time-based domain ability, needed no introduction.
Calming Seal - Inner - Time Acceleration allowed for the rapid reuse of other burst-type talent divine abilities.
Calming Seal - External - Time Stop was a powerful control-type ability.
Final Blessing was a healing ability, allowing for a second wind in battle, and its effects were also remarkable.
Of course, the most crucial aspect was that these abilities had significant room for improvement. The weakest could be enhanced to the seventh rank, and the three traits of the Lotus Calming Seal had the potential to reach the eighth rank.
However, it should be noted that the double pupils Song Chi had acquired were only of the third rank, but they also had considerable room for improvement. Their power could increase with the growth of the Bright Radiance Hatchling's life level.
Furthermore, with proper cultivation, they might even reach the seventh or eighth rank in the future.
With Song Chi's guidance, the Bright Radiance Hatchling quickly made its choice, narrowing down the options significantly. As Song Chi had expected, it chose the Lotus Time Realm.
As a time-based domain ability, it was undoubtedly the most potent and effective among all the talents, and Song Chi wasn't surprised by the hatchling's decision.
As the Bright Radiance Hatchling made its choice, the blood pact was finally formed. At the moment the Double Bright Blood Pact was established, Song Chi felt a subtle connection between himself and the hatchling—a bond formed by the Double Bright Blood Pact.
From that moment on, the fate of the human and the bird were truly intertwined.
At the same time, the double pupils in Song Chi's eyes also solidified, becoming a genuine pair of double pupils.
With this change, he found that his ability to perceive and analyze the surrounding environment had become even more astonishing. Even when he glanced at the hidden traces of the original primordial rules in the nest space's peripheral area, he instantly gained an understanding of these rules, faster than when he had previously focused all his attention on comprehending them.
Suppressing his joy, Song Chi turned his gaze towards the Fifth Rank Double Bright Phoenix and, after a moment of hesitation, spoke up:
"Senior, if you are willing, there is a Primal Secret Realm in my family's ancestral land. I can take you away from this Spirit Beast Realm."
"Let's leave this fragment of the Immortal Domain..."
Song Chi's idea was simple; if the other party was willing, he could bring it back to the family. A Double Bright Phoenix with a genetic heritage talent stronger than that of the pure-blooded Western dragons would surely be welcomed by his family.
Although he couldn't truly grant the Tier 5 Double Bright Phoenix its freedom here, it was still better than dying in the Spirit Beast Realm.
Before he could finish speaking, the Tier 5 Double Bright Phoenix interrupted him.
"Never mind, just take good care of it, and go!"
The Tier 5 Double Bright Phoenix glanced at the hatchling that had already formed a Bright Radiance Blood Pact with Song Chi, and which now felt a natural affinity towards him. The next second, it flapped its wings gently, and Song Chi was swept out of the nest with the hatchling by a gust of wind.
After summoning the Cob Alt Number, the man and bird soon faced their first challenge.
As a third-tier Double Bright hatchling, its wingspan was even longer than the length of the Cob Alt Number's hull. With this size, it was impossible to fit it inside the ship.
And for this problem, there was only one solution.
"Little guy, you see, only by completing the enslavement can you freely enter the Cob Alt Number..."
Song Chi struggled to find the right words, fearing that the little guy would get angry. But to his surprise, the hatchling showed no resistance. Its large bird head nodded vigorously, urging Song Chi to hurry up.
Song Chi could guess that this was probably due to the influence of the Bright Radiance Blood Pact. The hatchling had a high affinity and trust in him, and he himself had felt the same way a moment ago. He had been extremely cautious in his words, fearing that the hatchling might refuse, something he had never experienced before.
However, Song Chi was not opposed to enslaving the Double Bright hatchling with the Enslavement Medal. Aside from the convenience of entering the warship, the 'Bridge of Souls' ability would also make communication between the two easier.
There was also another crucial reason. Only when the Double Bright hatchling was enslaved by the Enslavement Medal would it be considered a true member of the Cob Alt Number, and the ship's components could then take effect on it.
Not to mention the ability of the Lotus Time Realm he had chosen.
The cooldown time was the same as the Lotus Calming Seal, and without the help of the 'Tranquility Seal - Inner - Time Acceleration' trait, each use would result in a five-year cooldown. But once the hatchling was recognized by the Cob Alt Number, the 'Tranquility Seal - Inner - Time Acceleration' trait would also take effect on it, reducing the cooldown time to one year.
Based on these points, the benefits of formal enslavement were clearly greater.
Once the Enslavement Medal completed the enslavement, the Double Bright hatchling gained the effect of the 'Miniaturization' trait and quickly transformed into a mini form, flying into the cockpit and landing on Song Chi's shoulder.
The little head kept rubbing against Song Chi's neck, expressing its affection for him in this way.
Song Chi's face lit up with a smile, and he gently stroked the hatchling's radiant silver-white feathers.
As they walked back to the control room, Song Chi's eyes sparkled, and he soon spoke, "Little guy, you don't have a name yet, right? How about I give you one?"
Coo-coo-coo! The hatchling chirped happily, urging Song Chi to hurry up.
After some thought, Song Chi said, "Since you're a Double Bright Phoenix, how about we use 'Heavy' as the surname and call you 'Heavy Feather'?"
Coo-coo-coo! The little guy chirped again, and Song Chi knew through psychic transmission that the hatchling was very satisfied with the name.
"Okay, from now on, I'll call you Heavy Feather."
As the Cob Alt Number's engine roared, they headed towards the distance.
They didn't go towards the secret realm's entrance but instead flew straight towards the Tier 5 Fire Willow.
Song Chi now had the highest-grade Spirit Soil of red epic quality, which greatly increased the success rate of transplanting the Fire Willow.
Moreover, the Lotus Time Realm had entered its cooldown period. Although he had activated the 'Tranquility Seal - Inner - Time Acceleration' trait, he still had to wait for a year.
Before its next recharge, Song Chi didn't plan to continue exploring the fragments of the Immortal Domain.
Soon, the Cob Alt Number, racing at full speed, successfully arrived at the location of the Fire Willow. With the assistance of the highest-grade Immortal Domain Spirit Soil and the Flame Wrath Giant, they easily captured the Fire Willow and brought it into the Cultivation Sanctuary.
Of course, they had to use the Proportional Scaling Device to succeed.
This component couldn't affect flesh-and-blood creatures, but it could work on plants.
Inside Chuzang's 004 Cultivation Realm, the Flame Wrath Giant carried the Fire Willow, which had regained its normal height, and walked to a corner of the Cultivation Sanctuary, far away from the Silver Apple Mother Tree, Dragon Blood Tree, Soul Tempering Fruit Tree, Law Tree, and Crimson Blood Peach Tree, under Song Chi's guidance.
The Fire Willow itself was an extreme fire-attributed plant, and planting it near other resource plants would likely affect their growth.
Song Chi's reason for transplanting it into the Cultivation Sanctuary was only to create a suitable cultivation environment for the three Celestial Demon Phoenix eggs, and he didn't care about its growth rate. So, it didn't matter that the two pieces of Immortal Domain Spirit Soil couldn't affect it.
With the help of dozens of puppet automatons, a large pit was dug in the corner of the realm, and the Flame Wrath Giant directly planted the Tier 5 Fire Willow into the soil pit.
With the realm's own transplantation success rate boost, the Fire Willow's roots quickly took hold in the soil, showing no signs of discomfort.
As the Fire Willow was successfully transplanted, the temperature in the realm's corner soared. Even Song Chi, now a third-tier life form, found it hard to withstand the extreme heat.
After refilling the soil, he took out the three Celestial Demon Phoenix eggs and placed them in a suitable area on the Fire Willow's trunk.
Standing under the tree, Song Chi looked up at the three eggs, which seemed to be jumping with joy in the fiery environment. He felt relieved.
This fiery environment was the perfect place for the Celestial Demon Phoenix eggs to hatch. With the Tier 5 Fire Willow continuously releasing a large amount of fire power, and with the realm's time acceleration, Song Chi believed it wouldn't be long before the three Celestial Demon Phoenixes would hatch.
After finishing up, Song Chi recalled the automatons and left the Cultivation Sanctuary with the Flame Wrath Giant.
Once he retrieved the Cob Alt Number, he headed straight back to the Multiverse Bazaar.
Since he couldn't explore the fragments of the Immortal Domain for an entire year, Song Chi naturally had to absorb the Celestial Demon Phoenix Marrow first and also wanted to carefully experience the effect of the double pupils.
He was looking forward to seeing how much faster he could comprehend the space origin law under the double pupils' blessing.
